i have recently bought a htc p4300. it came with wm5 and as u can tell from the title im tryin to upgrade. i have unlocked the cid using m3000v4unlock from a website. i was told that i have to use it since i have a g4. i have used three different roms for this and all it says after about ten seconds of the upload bar is: error 300, update tool somthing. my goal is to upgrade my phone to an extremely stable wm6 on an american tmobioile network. can anyone lend me a hand. i really need help. also, if anyone can hook me up with a seriously detailed install readme file with the software that would be great.

Can't you just read the "How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!" sticky ?
C'mon, is it that hard ?
i did read the tutorial. but when i put it in tricolor and i use the software to unlock it, it works. then i have to restart the phone, and i open the upgrade software and run the ruu. but when i do it i get to a screen that saws" 300 error" i dont know if in doing it wrong or if its the software im usng
Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.
your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies
azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.
Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?
What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.
Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan
where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.
Get the WM 6.1 Vodaphone official here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan
Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.
Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.
MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!
Thanks,
Dan
Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.
I've recently gotten a Touch Diamond from Verizon and I'm looking to flash it. I have experience from flashing and cooking for my original Touch, but I've found this Diamond to be much more stubborn/fickle.
I'm interested in flashing a new Bootloader, Radio, and ROM on to the phone because the default install is disappointing (resource usage). I've all over this site, google, and modmydiamond.info and haven't been able to resolve my issue, so I'm looking for additional help by posting.
When trying to load a bootloader (Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED, and the Jockyw2001 Hard-SPLs), my phone will prompt me, saying something is trying to run on my phone, I tell it to allow it, and the spinning color wheel comes up then freezes after a short amount of time. The installer on my computer will eventually time out. I restart the phone and it's good to go. I guess I'd like to start there, I think if I can get a Hard-SPL loaded I should be able to do the rest without much issue. Current bootloader information reads:
Security Unlocked
DIAM400
SPL-0.58.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v81
PSOC-Diam STAGE_EVT_v20
Serial
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
I've done some more digging and trying and, I've obviously come across this thread in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544872. When trying to lock or unlock my phone using the links provided in that thread I get "Invalid Model ID".
Edit: Just realize it's not intended to work on Verizon phones... Any help is appreciated.
God I cant find a solution for this either
Did you try the HARD RESET and after the HARD RESET not letting phone load, instead pressing POWER/DOWN to go into bootloader?
Uhm... Is it Sprint? or Verizon?
If it's Sprint, let it reboot and install .NET CF 3.5 before launching Diamond Unlocker.exe
If it's Verizon, try using the SSPL-manual.exe <-- it's posted everywhere.
Good luck!
That doesn't work
sspl manual just gets you to the point where you realize that the hardspl doesn't work on verizon diamonds... wrong model #. us VZ users could really use a new cellphone company that doesn't cut the specs of a great phone down to that of a Motorola VU204... stupid big red...
i have htc HD7 nodo and it got locked. I would like to go back to pre nodo so that i can unlock my phone again. Can anyone help me with this?
See my Post in THIS THREAD (post number 3)
That is exactly what i did and it worked fine for me
Thanks, i have successfully gone back to 7004 firmware. But now when i try to use chevron unlock i am getting an error " Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone. Please make sure it is connected . and zune is started.What might be the problem? Im using zune 4.7
I've had that issue a few times myself. IIRC, i had to piss about with the Hosts file. If you google the error you should find some fixes.
I think my phone had to be linked to Zune too (i.e. not a guest device)
After looking through the varying questions concerning the same topic and, subsequently, not seeing the right answers - within the right timeframe (e.g. within the past month or so), I decided that a new thread was needed. So here's it is:
A branded G1 (mine, T-mobile, Germany) is what I want to downgrade so that it may be rooted and upgraded with a custom ROM. The problem, I am finding, is not that the instructions aren't correct. Rather, it's that a piece of the instruction set doesn't exist. Namely, the revskills.de website. I mention this because I have tried, repeatedly, to boot with the DREAIMG.nbh in order to downgrade and have consisitently (after numerous downloads from different sites) received the same error - 00028002 (or something like that) while trying to load it. I eventually learned that some phones needed a "goldcard" so I set about trying to do that. Got the CID, reversed it, etc. but the part about going to psas.revskills.de is the killer. The site is down and apparently, no other method of changing the carrier ID exists (or, if it does, the method is too ugly to mention, let alone comprehensible by someone like me, a not-so-good-programmer). Worse yet, all the instructions involving the generation of a goldcard also involve this website and consequently, because of the aforementioned down-status of the site, renders all instructions moot (Grade: D for relying on unreliable sources). So, back to the question: does a method exist outside of what I have mentioned? Where can I find it? Does it have a cost attached to it?
If you've read this far it means that full words and sentences don't confuse you (in light of so-called "l337sp33k") and I applaud you. I will applaud you even more when a well thought out and not-so-glib answer unriddled with blog cliches and platitudes can be found as a reply to this post...
Seriously, if you don't know an answer, a link to check out or someone I can refer to, don't waste your time (or mine) with a the standard "you need to read this and that rules before asking a question" reply. I have trolled through this forum and a few others for the past 2 days looking for the answers to the question of downgrading and finding not the right answers that are specific to this problem (yes, I've read thropugh cyanogenmod wiki, read through the wiki here for dream/g1 phones, gsm programmer's sites, android dedicated sites, etc...ALL of them point to revskills for the goldcard gen (except for one which allows dowloading a perl prog to compile yourself to make the goldcard - I'm not so good with perl yet)
If you need to check the website go here:
psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
it's not working for me, whether through proxies in the US, netherlands, britain, frnace, or germany. My only conclusion is that it has been shut down.
Thanks for you attention and I really appreciate some advice from one of you that may be able to shed more light on this.

are you going on that non exiatent site to download the qmat thing? maybe try looking for it as a torrent file... use bittorrent or something and see if it's out there... i wish i knew how to help more, but i never needed to do anything like that...
stupid question but did you try both dreaimg files? rc29 and rc7?
both img files
Yes, I tried both. The US version gave me the same response as the European one. Tried qmat 5.0.2 and got nowhere with it (i ran out of time before I could figure out everything it could do - apart from simply reversing the cid). The only way to create a gold card seems to be through revskills...kind of a raw deal for the rest of us, if you ask me.
yeahh haha this sucks im not sure what you can do... hopefully someone sees this who can help you. sorry
I am currently trying out the alternate root method from your guide. Something's working...the build version is now CRB43 and I have cupcake (1.5) installed - I think. I shoudl be able to go through the guide in order now, right?
yeah if you have 1.5 than all you need is a custom recovery installed and you have root access... i prefer amonra recovery.. than you can flash radio and spl and go even further by flashing the newer 2825 radio and 0013d hboot
I just have to update my phone account with a data plan (forgot I didnt have one and cant sign in to google without it). Fortunately, it's cheap and takes only a day to update.
OK, so i worked the alt recovery method, but I can't sign in to google. (I used the AMON_RA recovery img.) I can't do anything now. The phone is (for all intents and purposes, bricked. I then tried to do the work around to get the wireless turned on at the touch me screen. It doesn't work. Still no root access. trying to go back to stock rom, no go. Still get the "Not Allow" 00028002 error. Haven't seen the fast boot screen lately. I try the back arrow from the boot loader screen...nothing. Even went so far as to try the HTC site boot unlocker method. HTC Sync installed, android sdk installed, etc. got the drivers in win7 x64 to acknowledge the phone being plugged in...it even recognozed (once) as the HTC Dream/G1, after that never again. This is nuts! It's funny as well as highly annoying. I'm running out of ideas and could use some suggestions...
Thanks
incidentally, the link to "DREAIMG.nbh" in the unrooting section connects to a download of the update.zip file. So, the link is misplaced or something...
good news, the gold card gen sit is back up, however, I can't connect to the phone with adb...I have tried the workaround but I guess the image on this thing is still not rooted. I'm out of ideas what to do, I cannot sign in to google (registration work around) and I can't connect with adb to all the other work to change things. This phone is hosed (and I will absolutely not go to T-mobile (in germany) they're even worse here than in the US...
Here is the link that I found for dreaming.nbh file.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NAAS5VBS
See if that works.
So, I am resigning myself to never getting this fixed. I have a rom I cannot access because the data plan on my sim card is for Maxxim, while the rom sets everything up as T-Mobile. Maxxim support will not give out the APN info and, to top it off, the wireless work around does not work because the cupcake dreaimg.nbh and amon_ra recovery image still do not allow root access. I'm lost, got a "working brick" phone, and I'll be damned if I go crawling back to t-mobile whether here in Europe or the US! Thanks for the help anyway...
yeah sorry bout that will fix the link, but its the same one you use to 'downgrade' on the Root method.. just brings you to 1.0, then flash the update.zip to 1.5 or 1.6...
so you cant flash the DREAIMG.nbh file? and you cant do anything via recovery?
but your device works if you had a data plan.. lol wow all i can think of is trying to flash the orange.nbh or get the DREAIMG.nbh to work..
Yeah, tried the orange.nbh as well and I get the same error for every nbh I try:
"00028002 Not Allow". It's really weird that all the nbh do not work...it's almost deliberate. The only root that worked was the alternate root, but wouldn't that have let me flash other roms? Interesting that it didn't.
Good that this G1 is a spare, but I would still like to get it working. I've found a use for it at work but it needs to be rooted. Will post back shortly with results from the DREAIMG.nbh and orange.nbh (if need be).

Does this give you any ideas? I can get to the recovery console but it does not necessarily mean I have root (as far as I've seen to this point). I mean, if I were able to register the phone without a data plan (using the wireless connection) I think I would be ok. I did have a point when I was able to connect to the phone via adb (but the phone was registered).
I know I don't have root because I am unable to do the <enter>reboot<enter> thing in the reg bypass method. How did that happen? -I've got no idea...
Another thought, Is there another way to install drivers on my windows machine so that the phone is recognised by adb (even though it's not regitered and I have no way of turning on debugging)? Is there a way to alter the build manifest so that USB debugging is on by default thereby allowing me to connect via windows?
Its painful to read threads like this..
Do you still have your sdcards CID from the OP?
If so using the sdcard you have the CID to make the goldcard on your computer, tben takethe orange nbh rename it to DREAIMG.nbh and place it onthe root of the sdcard.
Then flash the orage nbh and use fastboot to install the 2708+ radio/spl/custom recovery (ra or clockwork)
If you dont have the CID find a device (likely a friends phone) that can read the CID and pick up from there. (notice no adb, and only fastboot after flashing an nbh with an engenering spl)
(I didn'tsay it earlier as the goldcard site was down...)
How to I go about reading the CID on another phone? I am not too familiar with the process. I have a nokia X2. Will that work through a bluetooth connection? (it's my wife's phone and I don't want to try anything with that one until I am absolutely sure.
If you could point me at something I could read on how to do this, I would be exteremely grateful...
Thanks
the site http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard is odwn for me, so I can´t create my gold card.
Any other way to access the site?
I'm following the CM guide for my inspore 4g, but when I searched this forum, this thread came up
So here's my final result:
* Followed steps in the guide for alt root method (nothing else worked but that) - gained root.
* Restarted in order to follow thorugh with the radio upgrade
* No root
* Reflash the ROM
* still no root
* Cannot connect adb to device
* Windows sees it only as USB (even after uninstalling and pointing the hardware to the Android SDK USB Drivers
So I've come into an infinite loop:
* Can't gain root without a goldcard (or some ability to take the NBH apart and modify the kernel - DEFINITELY not my strongest skill...
* Can't get a goldcard without being able to read the CID
* Can't read the CID without connecting with adb
* Can't connect with adb without USB Debugging on
* Can't turn on usb debugging without a) registering phone (no data plan) or b) having root access to type in the commands at reg screen (with SIM Card in) or initial screen (without SIM card)
I've tried every ROM I could find, used the Android Kitchen tool (to modify the ROMs I've found, adding root access), I've read every guide I could get my hands on, as well as trying to extract the nb files from the NBH (in hopes of spotting what I needed to change in order to enable the phone to come on with wireless ON). I have been unsucessful. Is the phone now a paperweight?
I appreciate and respect any suggestions (I've already thought of buying a new phone - so that suggestion is out ;-) ).
Thanks
